An assessment at Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital (GOSH) found that orthopedic surgeon Yaser Jabbar harmed 94 children out of 789 patients he cared for between 2017 and 2022.[1][2] Jabbar specialized in lengthening and reconstructing limbs, which involved breaking bones, inserting metal Ilizarov frames, and gradually stretching them.[1] Out of 94 cases, 36 children suffered serious, 39 moderate and 19 mild injuries.[1] The review was carried out by an independent team of pediatric orthopedists from other UK hospitals, who looked at all 789 patients instead of the recommended 200.[1][2] The hospital issued a statement on January 29, 2026, apologizing to the families for the children's suffering.[1] Jabbar is no longer licensed to practice medicine in Britain and lives abroad.[4] Reconstruction of pediatric limbs is a very complex field of surgery.[1]
